Rite of Spring - 2010

The garden is waking up

This is the time of the year when the first flowers are emerging from a soil still bearing the scars of the winter. Daffodils, Narcissus and Crocus bring colors to the world. Wild bluets and violets add their very own hues.

Jacqueline can be found in her garden, tools in hand, clearing the dried remnants of past growth. Cleaning the flower beds, adding some compost here, and prunning some rosebush there. Transplanting selected specimens, grouping them to add volume to the color they will dress the garden with, later in the coming summer
